<p>Well I think visiting is a major factor, and after visiting she may decide that she doesn’t like it at all. Or she might find that it is a perfect fit for her. I know that it made a huge difference to me in deciding between what looked good on paper and what I really wanted in a college.</p>
<p>“She’s looking for a university, not a LAC, but one with a focus on UG teaching.” What state do you live in? If you are willing to go down south, W&M fits the bill, a university that focuses on undergraduate teaching, but it’s not in a city and it is a public institution of that state. Best of luck in your search!</p>
